My name is Andrey, and the greatest blessing of my 46 years is being married to an incredible woman—my beloved Yulia. 💕Since 2002, we have had the privilege of serving full-time with CRU in Ukraine 🇺🇦. God has blessed us with three wonderful “kids”: Vlad (16), Christian (11), and our little dog Nike 🐾—whose name means “Victory.” She was born at the beginning of the war and is now four years old.Our vision is to reflect the beauty of our Lord and His Church ✨ through acts of kindness, faithful service, and the powerful truths of the Bible. Especially in these challenging times in Ukraine, we hold firmly to this conviction: the darker the night, the brighter the light shines. 🌟One verse that continually inspires and guides us is:“Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” — Matthew 5:16 🙏Since 2015, we have been leading the Athletes in Action ministry in Ukraine 🇺🇦, using sports as a platform to share the Gospel and build disciples.Today, our Athletes in Action team includes 7 full-time AIA staff members, 12 Full time Workers and more than 20 part-time leaders serving across the country. Together, we minister to over 500+ families who are part of our community throughout Ukraine. In 2025, our annual ministry budget was $265,000, and during that year alone, we had the privilege of sharing the Gospel 2,555 times.We would be honored to have you join us on this journey.
